Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    Presumption is our natural and original malady. The most vulnerable and frail of all creatures is man, and at the same time the most arrogant.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    I have heard
    That guilty creatures sitting at a play
    Have by the very cunning of the scene
    Been struck so to the soul, that presently
    They have proclaimed their malefactions.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Unignorant,
    modest and unemotional, and all emotion,
    he has everlasting vigor,
    power to grow,
    though there are few creatures who can make one
    breathe faster and make one erecter.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
